The Manitou Springs Heritage Museum proudly announces the opening of its new Winter exhibit, “Ski Areas of the Pikes Peak Region”.  The exhibit is a collaboration with the Colorado Snowsports Museum in Vail, who provided some amazing historic photographs. Due to the efforts of the Pikes Peak Ski Club and Don Lawrie, the club’s first president, ski areas like the Pikes Peak Ski Area and Ski Broadmoor were successful for many years while other Ski Areas were planned, but never operational.  This exhibit tells the stories of the early skiing pioneers who were dedicated to promoting the sport of skiing within the Pikes Peak Region.

First Friday March 7 (Noon-8 pm)

Beowulf (and the Bard)
Author: Vidas Barzdukas and Christopher R. Bartlett.
Published: Dramatic Publishing

Farcical Comedy
Beowulf (and the Bard) is a fun, frenetic and freewheeling farce that updates the Old English poem about the warrior Beowulf, who must rescue the mead hall from a hideous ogre (and his even more hideous mother). Told through the eyes of the epic’s writer—a character known simply as “the bard”—the comedy’s events unfold much differently than the familiar story passed down through the ages. In reality, Beowulf is an out-of-shape prince hoping to fulfill the heroic code, while the bard is a desperate poet struggling with a nasty case of writer’s block. This retelling also introduces a new female character: the bloodthirsty warrior princess Gunborg, whose quest to reach her heroic destiny is ignored by her overprotective father, the king. Beowulf (and the Bard) is a comedy about friendship, duty and what it means to be a hero.

Music by Alan Menken | Lyrics by Glenn Slater | Book by Cheri Steinkellner & Bill Steinkellner | Directed by Marisa D. Hébert

Details & Tickets

Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy based on the 1992 smash hit film that has audiences jumping to their feet! When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find themselves up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken (NewsiesBeauty and the BeastLittle Shop of Horrors), this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Garbage Trucks, construction vehicles, first responders, military and community vehicles from all corners of Colorado Springs will be present to let your kiddos explore. We will even have helicopters (weather permitting)!

New this year: Touch-A-Truck will be completely horn-free (parents please help us in this endeavor) to accommodate those with noise sensitivities. We have partnered with the Children's Entrepreneur Market where kids from all over our community will be on hand to sell their amazing homemade items!
